I am so incredibly excited for this week’s post, because as mentioned in my previous post, this is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it on a whim because of the magnetically powerful first pages, and haven’t looked back since – it is called The Night Circus.

I have never, ever read a book that so successfully presents a hazily dreamlike beauty like The Night Circus (The hint word for this book was dream, and I think it really sums up the novel).

There is so much fashion inspiration in this book that I never wanted to stop creating looks for it! But before we get to the outfits, here’s a little background on the novel:

This is definitely a book that has been talked about a lot, and has had huge sales and many, many readers.
